to mount your file type command:

mount c: x:\blabla

where x:\blabla is patch to your game, on your hard drive

then that directory behaves like c:, so then you can type C:

mount C C:\DOS\CDrive
mount D D:\ -t cdrom
C:
CLS

so it looks like this...

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount C C:\DOS\CDrive
mount D D:\ -t cdrom
C:
CLS

oh i see you already made your mount, sorry i misunderstood you, i thought you don't know how to do it

anyways, if it still says that C: doesn't exist, try just opening your dosbox.exe (without lines in autoexec) and typing in:
mount C C:\DOS\CDrive
what does it say? any errors, or "Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\DOS\CDrive"?

Nothing appears wrong with the mounts in the config. But remove that CLS please - if there are any error messages shown, it would make you miss them out.

Do you make a folder named "DOS" on your C partition and one named "Cdrive" inside that, or did you just copy-paste these lines into your config? I have a distinct hunch the latter is the problem here.

i wonder how is it possible that it says D:\UW1> after it quits with the error, because you mounted your D:\UW1 as C, so it should just say C: instead. you forked up somewhere

Joshua, it should NOT be giving you D:\UW1> in this error message to begin with.
Are you sure you're running Dosbox the emulator and not the so-called "dos box" command line utility?
